Iain Dale has reported election nights may never be the same again. Apparently, around 25% of councils may opt for starting the count on Friday morning rather than the usual Thursday night. Chief Executives will quote how tired staff are and the costs of employing staff, however, we have managed in the past, so there is no reason why we cannot manage now. Election nights will lose their thrill and it could easily ruin the electrically charged atmosphere of a potentially thrilling general election result. Lobby your council now if they are planning to ruin your enjoyment of election night.

If the Tories want councils to cut costs, this will have to happen.
